Unlike competing LED solutions that use large-footprint packages and diffuse optical sources to deliver hundreds of lumens, XM-L LEDs provide breakthrough performance in a compact footprint and small optical source size. This high lumen-density can simplify designs and reduce costs for lighting manufacturers building products for directional-lighting applications, such as high bay, parking, roadway, track, spot and LED replacement lamps. XLamp XM-L LEDs enable manufacturers to easily control the light output and place light exactly where it is required, minimizing wasted light and light trespass.

¡°Cree is the only LED manufacturer currently delivering production volumes of warm- and neutral-white LEDs at these performance levels,¡± said Paul Thieken, Cree, director of marketing, LED Components. ¡°Cree innovation translates into ready-to-ship components that can enable our customers to develop highly efficient LED fixtures from streetlights to downlights and from desk lamps to A-lamps.¡±

XLamp XM-L neutral- and warm-white LEDs are available now in sample and production quantities. To locate a distributor, please visit www.cree.com/buyxlamp.
